Restarting the phone kicks in the adblock. Thanks for the suggestion

Image not loading...so adblocker is working

 

[Sushubh]

hehe that image is the error image shown by chrome because of blocked ads!

i wonder if i should selectively enable individual block lists. especially related to popup ads and such. there are so many listed by NextDNS!

 

[thadougamer]

I didn't enable much coz some of them blocks redirected links

@Sushubh I have noticed something very peculiar. Using any of the adblockers on next dns disables youtube watch history. The YouTube videos that I have watched are not appearing anymore. They started appearing in the watch history only if I disable next dns.

based on this:

Pi hole stops youtube viewing history from updating : pihole

seems like a common issue. it points to this page where some domains are mention that you can try whitelisting in NextDNS backend?

Commonly Whitelisted Domains - FAQs - Pi-hole Userspace
